We take a look at the top stats and facts from the weekend's action in the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two.
Brentford struggling away
Brentford are still without an away win in the Sky Bet Championship this season after losing 3-1 at Derby on Saturday. Henrik Dalsgaard gave the Bees the lead after 53 seconds before goals from Harry Wilson (14), David Nugent (21) and Mason Mount (38) gave Frank Lampard's Rams the win.
While the Bees have a perfect record at home this season, taking 12 points from 12, they have taken three points from a possible 15 away, dropping seven points in the process. Their seven points dropped is the joint most in the Championship this season along with Millwall and Blackburn.
Birmingham finally win
Birmingham won their first Championship game of the season, ending Leeds' unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 win at Elland Road on Saturday. Che Adams scored his first double in the Championship to give Garry Monk's team their first win. Paul Hurst's Ipswich are now the only team without a Championship win this season.
Miserly Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough kept yet another clean sheet as they drew 0-0 at home to Swansea on Saturday. Middlesbrough have kept seven clean sheets in their nine Championship games this season. Norwich's Teemu Pukki is the only player to score past Darren Randolph in the last eight games.
